Making Me Smile

Just a few things on this Fall Friday that are making me smile.

I'm not a huge Bath and Body Works person - my nose gets a little overstimulated every time I walk in there. BUT! I do really love some of their fall scents and one Christmas scent. The "Leaves" and "Cranberry Woods" scents for Fall smell great, and I really like the "Fresh Balsam" one for around Christmastime. It smells like a freshly cut Christmas tree. None of the above are overly sweet or floral, which I can't stand. The first two are kind of spicy. Anyway, I popped in this week to pick up some candles -- normally I buy the "wallflower" plug in thingies, but I thought I'd give the candles a shot too.

Here's "Cranberry Woods" on my counter.

and then I put the Fresh Balsam one in the living room for now. Yes, I'm already burning it. I'm ready for Christmastime. Sorry.

(bad lighting because I took it in the early morning)

They smell great when they're burning. The only thing is, they retail for $22, which isn't bad for a normal candle, but unfortunately these aren't soy wax, and they burn pretty quickly, like your average Target candle or something. They smell stronger than Target ones do, but not sure the quality is any better, if that makes sense. I like to buy nice candles, but I won't keep buying these if they are going to burn out really fast :( Anyway. they smell great and I am loving the scents!

Just a heads up, those B&BW candles regularly go on sale at 2 for $22 and they always have coupons! Just recently I stopped by when they had a 2/$22 and I had a 25% coupon. I stocked up on my fall, Christmas, and general scents (Mahogany Teakwood is fantastic year round), so I think I got 6 of those giant candles for less than $50. I also use their wall plugins too, they typically last 3-4 weeks.

yes! I figured they probably were relying on sales prices for selling those things. Their non stop sales and combo pricing drive me nuts!!!! thanks for the info though - i'll try and go in to stock up.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing. InformationInformationInformation
